Beerschot-Wilrijk form and stats

A perfect away game record so far for the visitors in the Pro League, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 4 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats from 7 matches. Impressively, the visitors are on a seven-match winning run which they hope continue versus Club Brugge. Having won their last three away games Beerschot-Wilrijk has no reason to fear anyone.

Beerschot-Wilrijk are travelling after their nice 3-1 home win in the Pro League against Zulte-Waregem (placed 18th). Before that one, a nice away victory 2-1 at KV Oostende.

We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Beerschot-Wilrijk played away with similar odds. This revealed two games. The visitors overcame the odds to win zero times, one were draw and the home team won as expected one time.

2 goals so far away for Beerschot-Wilrijk, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 1. All from 1 league match away.
